Walmart had the best price of 5 major chain stores on cyber Monday and they offered free shipping! It arrived within a week and is working spectacularly. It's nice to have such a successful experience with a mammoth organization such as Walmart and online ordering.

Worth the investment!

I was amazed but discusted at the same time when I saw just what my new vac picked up! It was everything I expected and more. I have 2 kids and 3 dogs and this picked up everything, including the dog hair!The only downfall is it's hard to get the wand exteded without the vac tipping over. Other than that, IT'S GREAT and every penny worth it!

Dyson DC33 super sweeper

Never thought I would pay that much for a sweeper but broke down and decided get something really good versus another lame-o weak vacuum. I mean why get a new one every few years? Unit is made of polymers, but that can be good, saves alot of weight, and if they use the right ones, very durable. Like a Glock pistol can shoot 200k rounds and not break, a "plastic wonder". This thing has great suction and cleans, really clean. Cleaner than my carpet has ever been after vacuuming. No dust. And there is the NOISE issue. My old vacs were noisy, some to the point of stretching my last nerve. This thing has a whirr or whine but not particularly loud. What a relief! The attachment hose is a bit too tight maybe. Would be a nuisance if you use the baseboard attachment etc. alot till it breaks-in? But for plain vanilla carpet sweeping, it is a joy for me to use. I am glad I got it instead of a halfway-there econo sweeper after all these years. Fun to use when it cleans so thoroughly. I bought it at WALMART! Issues-picky. Wish the power switch lit up when on. A headlight of some sort would be nice.

This is our first Dyson. We wanted to give it a try. First we were interested in Dyson Ball so we tried that and were not impressed comparing to Dyson DC33. DC33 has more power, bigger bin and about $100 cheaper than Dyson Ball so we are sticking to DC33. It is much quieter than our older vacuum machine and it cleans carpet and hardwood floor quite well. Price at Walmart was very attractive even less than Sams Club :-) Ordering from online was very convenient and item arrived at home very quick. One thing we don't like is that the retractable hose is not very impressive and very tight and makes the entire vacuum drag behind you unless someone is holding the vacuum machine while you use the flexible hose to vacuum corners and close edges. 90 days return policy of Walmart and very competitive price is a win win situation so we are very pleased even though it is very expensive comparing to other vacuum machines.

nice long extension cord and the handle wand, while a little awkward at times, reaches to the top of the stairs with the vacuum placed at the bottom of the steps! Great suction and is light and easy to empty the canister. It does not feel like a heavy expensive vacuum when it use but it sure does perform like one. Glad i went with this brand and model especially after comparing reviews of other branded "pet" vacuums.

I purchased a Hoover F7412900 carpet cleaner at the same time that I bought this Dyson DC33. I cleaned the carpets and decided to vacuum with my new Dyson before replacing all of the furniture. The canister was empty when I finished vacuuming and I thought I'm going to have to return this thing. Before I packed it up and hauled it to the nearest Walmart, I decided to sprinkle powder on the carpet to see if it really worked--it did, perfectly! I love the long cord that allows me to do an entire room without moving from plug to plug, and telescoping wand reaches where I used to have to use ladder to get to, I love the light weight of it, and the thing I love the most is empyting the canister. I hated dragging out my old heavy vacuum and dreaded empyting it, but with this Dyson I vacuum just about daily and empty the canister after every use. It picks up amazingly well with one pass, and I never have to bend over to pick up anything it cannot. I truly love the way this vacuum performs!

The only drawback is the hose.

My wife and I upgraded to the Dyson DC33 coming from an older, but still potent Kirby G4. We opted to shy away from the G4 as we were spending a lot of money on bags, and despite all the maintenance, new belts, etc, the carpet just felt like it wasn't getting as clean as we both know it should. After vacuuming on a Friday afternoon and feeling dirt still beneath my feet, I convinced the wife to invest in the DC33 - later that night, we emptied an entire canister of dirt, carpet 'freshener' that was advertised to help loosen dirt, and just about anything else that the G4 missed. The adjusting floor feature is pretty good as well, as we go from carpet to vinyl tile in the kitchen and to ceramic tile in the entryway. The air quality in our apartment has gone through the roof, and my wife's allergies are MUCH better with the DC33 in the home. We're vacuuming at least once a week and pulling out a 1/4 to 1/2 canister of dirt and pollen each time throughout the entire home. If you're tired of buying vacuums that just don't work after 6 months, and you don't want to plunk down the $500 for the Animal or Dyson Ball - this is as solid as an investment as there is. I likely will not purchase or use 'carpet freshener' in the home for a while, as just keeping the carpet clean is working well for us.

Like many reviewers, I too find the hose clunky and at times, hard to use, but if you pull the unit right close to what you're trying to clean, you won't have any problems. Also, despite what some reviews I've read elsewhere state, the suction is great and it will even get in between A/C vents and floor / table fan grates.

Best vacuum I've ever used!

Bought this vacuum after reading many product reviews, and after having used many other brands of vacuums. I have a dog and 2 cats who are all shedding machines! This is the only vacuum that gets all the fur up from my carpet/and hard floors in one pass! I love that you can turn the brush off on the hard floors! My old vacuum did not do that, and would literally just blow everything around on the hard floors instead of sucking it up! The attachments are a little awkward to use, but other than that, I love my new vacuum!

Powerful but Awkward and Not Userfriendly

Sure this thing has lots of power and is very sturdy ....but you have to be a strong person with a limber back and generous torque power in your hands to operate this beast smoothly.

If the dirt you're trying to dispose of is conveniently lying around in wait in the middle of a large open space, then this machine does it, but if you're trying to maneuver around furniture you'll need to deal with that super tight and awkward hose and extension pieces that won't lie flush with the floor.

Those 'accessory' pieces will angle up, leaving much open space...making it difficult to get true suction behind those desks, under those couches, and under that kitchen table...

It's a well built machine and great for those open spaces but for the detail work, you're going to have to undo all of the electrical cord to pull that hose out and then you're going to be repositioning that oh so tight hose every 10 seconds or so.

For around 300 bucks, you'd think they'd give us a headlight, power button light, and a hard floor highly flexible and maneuverable extension part.

Really good, but aggressive cleaner

I decided after all the hype, I'd buy a Dyson vacuum cleaner. I already have a Kirby, and really prefer a bag, so I bought this one as it is the cheapest of all I've seen. It works almost as well as the Kirby, but at a fraction of the price. It has a really long cord as well. I like that it has the easily accessible hose, but it doesn't stretch well while the cleaner is running. The wand is awkward to use. The dusting brush is connected to the crevice tool, so it doesn't work well on large areas. It has a super-long cord - I can do my whole 1500 square-foot house without having to change the plug. It's also the cleanest bag-less vacuum I've ever emptied. The brush roll is extremely aggressive too. It ups the cleaning effectiveness, but I feel like if the carpet in my house did not already need to be replaced, the brush on this vacuum might ruin it.

There is no question that Dyson does bagless best. The dirt collector opens and empties easier than any other product that I have ever owned--and I have owned a large number of bagless machines. Everything about the design of this product is intended to deliver the strongest suction possible to the floor--the gaskets sealing the dirt collector are just one example. You won't find gaskets sealing the cheaper products. The greater suction alone delivers better cleaning. Add to that a cyclonic separation system that really works to eliminate the dirt from the airstream before it reaches either of the final stage filters. As a result, the final stage filters really don't need to be cleaned for multiple months. The extender hose is also very well designed--both easily accessed when needed and completely retracted when not needed. A lot of thought went into this well designed machine, and it shows. Well worth the price.

Great Vaccum

I love this vacuum! It does a great job on our carpet, rugs, hardwoods, and vinyl. I wish however that the actual vacuum was a lower profile such as the ball so it would fit under more of my furniture. When I go to use the wand also, the top piece does not stay attached o the long tubing when removing from the frame of the machine, but with a simple click it goes on easily and stays in during wand use (it may designed to do this, and so the design might be working as it should, but it's still a mild 5 second hassle) I appears bulky, but the ease of use and suction power make up for its downfalls. The cleanliness of emptying the canister is also quick and a great feature. The directions for assembly were easy to understand and assembly took me 2-3 minutes. This is a great vacuum and a purchase that is not to regret!

After years of thinking if it's worth spending more than $200 on a vacuum cleaner, we finally decided to get a Dyson. We all suffer from allergies at home and finding an effective and allergy-friendly vacuum cleaner was getting harder and harder, well at least if you only consider the less than $100 price range. After checking online for reviews and comparing prices, we ordered the Dyson DC33 online and picked it up 4 hours later at our local Walmart. We immediately used it after taking it out of the box. It was easy to assemble. I am quite impressed with its performance. It's comparatively quiet. It's very easy to use and easy to clean. I like the fact that the filters are washable. I especially like the fact that I don't smell that offensive smell that I used to get from our old vacuum cleaner. It used to make my allergies worse. I am very happy with this purchase especially that the price is discounted.

Great love it...my fav new toy

I always read most reviews before making a purchase. I read several reviews that stated the attachment hose was stiff, pish posh. Muscle up gals, if you want a clean house you will not even notice the hose! I ordered mine through this website for the attachment included exclusively. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the head of the cleaner is so thick I cannot get under my kitchen cabinets or couch at all. I must use the attachments, which I love!

LOVE IT!!!

I really wasn't expecting to fall in love with this thing but I did. It's surprisingly quiet, lightweight, and simple to maintain. Totally worth the money! I have 2 mastiffs who shed a LOT and this vacuum works wonders. Seeing how much more it picks up than my last vacuum is disgustingly satisfying.

First, I was sooo excited to get a Dyson I nearly cried. However, after using it I did cry at its poor performance. For $399 I expect ALL the dirt and debri to be sucked up. I ran my own little experiement with the Dyson DC33 and my old Bissell. Vaccumed whole house with Dyson the went back over with the Bissell and had a canister full in the Bissell. Incredibly disappointed. Returned it and purchased a Hoover Windtunnel Air...so much lighter, better house distance, and half the price plus low profile to reach under counters and beds.

Dyson is just not worth the extra money....yes, its pretty, yes, your friends will say "ahhhh, a Dyson!' but you will know you could have done better!

I am a heavy vacuum user as I clean student apartments. This vacuum has good suction, comparable to other quality machines. I like the ease of emptying. But I have qualms that it will last very long. The plastic mechanisms that release the bin, the wand, and handle just feel touchy. After only a few uses the handle will not release down to vacuum by pressing on the left side of the base. One time I did not get the bottom of the bin clicked down properly and made a mess the next time I went to empty it. It also takes some getting used to it. I had high expectations for this machine, especially at the price, and I expect to be disappointed with it in the long run.

Excellent Purchase!

I was extremely hesitant in spending so much money on this vacuum, after finding it cheaper on the walmart website than in the store, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase it. BEST PURCHASE for a vacuum ever and I would do it all over again, and probably spend more! When I brought it home, nobody was around to help me put it together so I was worried I might not be able to use it right away, WRONG, it was extremely easy to put together and no tools were needed, at all.

This vacuum is so lightweight and easy to push around over thick or thin carpet, and switches to hard floor mode at the flip of a switch, literally. My living room rug LOOKED clean, but after 5 minutes with the Dyson I was disgusted and embarassed with the amount of dust and pet hair it picked up that had been hiding in my carpet.

The wand easily detaches so it makes vacuuming furniture and higher places a breeze, it has an extra long cord so there is no unplugging it as you go room to room. Emptying the canister is a one hand cinch and doesn't create a mess, as my other bagless vacuum did.
